When I was younger my family couldn’t afford the training everyone else at my level was getting which led to my competitors getting ahead of me. I had to learn to fight and out-work people just to compete with my peers.

Before I transitioned from Jr Hockey to mixed martial arts, during my 16 year I ended up getting cut from the local A1 team and dropped to A2, despite other coaches telling me I had the size and skill to play Jr B that year. Through feeling like I was treated unfairly & hard work I managed to get on to a Jr B team in the states before the year was over.

Whether getting cut (which didn’t just happen my 16 year) was due to politics, team dynamics or simply a lack of skill on my part; getting cut taught me a lot and helped mold me into who I am today. It gave me the chip on my shoulder I needed to play at the level I felt I deserved to be at and it's something that I've taken with me into my MMA career.

Through my program I want to share with you the things that helped me, the things I’ve learned and the mistakes I’ve made so that you can achieve your full potential. I want to be the resource for athletes that I wish I had.
